Hi guys,
My Z1 camera suddenly died and I'm at the point which I have to decide which one to buy. I have an option to take very cheaply Z3 camera which seems to be identical as Z1 - so the question is: is it interchangeable between Z1/Z3?
I don't want to brick my device
TIA
Afaik , the Z1 and the z3 have different sensors. So i don't think thats going to work.
Z3 camera will work on Z1
Sorry for the bad english
Z3 camera will work on Z1
But Z1 camera will not work on Z3
If u port Z1 camera app to Z3 it will also work on Z3 also
I m using Xperia Z1 One week ago i changed my camera with Xperia Z3+ and picture and video look awesome
But Z3+ camera is slimer than Z1 but there is no problems with that it will work great and it is better in low light also.

That's what I heard, Z1/Z2/Z3 use the same i2c bus/commands and connector. Wasn't sure if kernel or camera apk itself has some white/blacklist. Well, I'm waiting for my delivery and would try it.
BTW: my camera was signed as G3 which I suppose came from Z2.
So, FYI -> Z3 cam in Z1 works flawlessly, no problems at all.

hi folks,
i want to change my htc one, i was first thinking of m8 or z2, but when i see the price, i am not that fast...
so i had a look to the z1 compact, wich seems quite nice, and i like what sony is doing these days.
first question i had in mind: is it possible to use the external microphone you can see in z2 accessories, and it seems that the answer is no, due to the 5 pin jack, bummer
now the other question, can you run lifelog on z1 ? i guess it should n be a probleme, if somebody can confirm, would be great.
i ve read here and there that the z1 camera was suffering of quality picture issues, did you guys got an update to fix that (knowing it s same camera than z2 )
Also on z2 they talk about steady motion for recording video, i guess it s only software stuff, is it implemented on the z1 ?
Thx for your replies
Good question about the mic, it has the same plug as my NC headphones I use
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/03/06/sony-stm10-stereo-microphone-priced-to-launch-in-early-april/
and those work on my Z1, not sure if the mic will work, I feel maybe the software isn't in the Z1 for it to work? perhaps once the Z2 comes out and the mic, sony will update z1 and the mic will work, why wouldn't they, would still permit z1 users to buy it and have it.

the issue about the external mic is hardware related and it will NEVER work on Z1
any ideas about the other points i ve mentioned?
OK so I just got my xperia Z1 2 days ago and I love it. The only thing is that the sound is disgustingly low. My old xperia z was louder.
Now I have a hairbrain idea.
The xperia play is still the loudest xperia phone I ever had back in the day. Now I was wondering, if. By any means at all would it be possible to put a xperia play speaker in my Z1?(I wonder what that would do to the waterproofing.)

No, not possible, the Z1 speaker sucks because it has loads of protection against water on the inside replacing it with a different one would probably require heavy modifications to the phone's body
Your only option would be to install a custom kernel with sound control and use something like faux/kernel adiutor/pimp my Z1/... To up the sound leven beyond the stock limit
Why have Sony gone backwards with the z3+ front speakers?. The z3 was much louder.
Any fix for this guys?

Not much we could do - I think. Z3 speakers are fully exposed. Z3+ is more like Z2 in terms of loudness.

I'm starting to think there was no point in the z3+, the z3 is a better phone imho. Should have just waited for the z5! Creedy Sony!?

Z5 has the same speaker placement as the Z3+. It could still be louder, but we'll have to wait and see!
Z5 Speakers are better than Z3+.. But Z3 speakers still the best
My rear camera broken i want to replace it New one. Looking at ebay i see z5 rear camera hardware same connection with z3c camera. Is that possible replacement anybody idea?
I don't think it can be done but in fact they looks quite the same. You can replace Z3 <--> Z3c and Z1 <--> Z1c but I don't think it gonna work after replacing across different models.

maybe modified rom and install z5 cam app it can possible. even camera app upgrade possible for z3 we sure about that
I think even if connector is the same phone must have dedicated driver to work with peripherals. So firs thing is driver IC on board and then software driver.

It's quite interesting. When someone brings me Z5/Z5c for repair I'll try to check it.
Do it!
Tell us if it works.
any good news？
Still no damaged Z5
@up
I'm for your service! Give me Z5C and I will damage it as much as you want! But is it even driver possible?
Any news?
Thanks!
Hi
I have z4 e6533 with android 7.0
I install "Xperia Led music" app.
But it not working.
Help me please....
Maybe it is not compatible.
And good to know that you have such battery life to waste with this. hehe
Good luck.
Buy Xperia SP if you like leds with music. You will get it really cheap. It is unique due to its three leds which are visible from front and back. I sold it to buy Xperia Z3+ and still missing it.
